Anyone read the new Sport Compact Car magazine?

well in it is the 2006 evo 9 and it says that it will come out late this year and only be around for one year? they said that the evo X will come out in 2007. i dont know but the article was really interesting. they said that it will have all the components of the MR as we all know and more power but it doesnt say anything about MIVEC engine. are they going to put the MIVEC in the next evo and is it really only going to be around for one year?

they also had an article about the new 2007 skyline gtr. it looks like it is badged as an infinity but there is still some speculation at what motor is going into it. it is either a 4.5 liter V8 from the Q45 (VK45DE) which makes 400 hp naturally aspirated or a VQ platform (dont know what size yet. either a 3.0, 3.2, or 3.5 liter engine) twin turbo which makes around 450 hp. as for a transmission there might be a Getrag 7-speen gearbox with sequential shifting similar to BMW's M5. it is scheduled for an early 2006 release date.

i will have pics up soon if you guys want them.

They either ran the same story two months in a row or you are a month behind. And it's a repost.

Maybe it just takes him a while to get the magazine? I'm in the boonies...I'm still on the June 2004 issue!
